Browser problem

[Globaliser]

I've been following this thread and finally tried both of those URLs on my browser - IE6, Win XP Pro SP1 - and I have the same problem. The browser hangs on both URLs. The taskbar also hangs, but I can still switch between windows using Alt+Tab.

Throwing this into the pot in case it helps anyone to diagnose the problem.

Hello guys

Thanks a lot for your feedback...

Foodbomber you mantioned quite good points from where the problem might be originated......
I have XP and have downloaded and installed all the patches and programs that are part of the Autoupdate downloads from Microsoft. The last update incuded a firewall and other wizards to setup a wire less network and home LAN networks.

This problem started since I have installed the last package ( i think) And yes as you said ,"It also only seems to be a few sites where it does cause drop dead browsing."

Might be the firewall is causing all this. I will try to deactivate it and let you know any results. Yepp might be we have to wait for some other patches.

Globiliser when I use both URLs on my browser IE6 Win XP PRO with patches, theyt casuse the bowser to drop dead and close!!! It does not hang!!!
So cant switch between windows using Alt+Tab....


Thanks for your attention!!!

I'm running XP pro with SP2 and can access those urls no problem
Seem to recall that I had a problem with some url's with the same results your getting but just cannot recall how i fixed it
Think it was something to do with the java setting in internet explorer

Just to throw in my tuppence worth.

On a win2k system, latest patches etc, front page of that site is fine.
On a winxp +sp2 system, latest patches, the left hand side green background item with the list that starts FAA flight training displays as redx in box.
Both machines on same internet connection.

Hello again

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Maxell you mentioned java. Recently I have downloaded Java Web Start (Java 2 1.4.2_05) but still the problem is still there. Actually I don't know what's the function of this plug in is for......

Maybe there are some setting I should do....
If you try to find out what were the settings in IE so that I ll try them out, you will be a lot of help for sure

Stickyb before I installed the last update I was able to log on the URL mentioned before without any problems!! The probs. began when installed the last update pach......and the result is IE is closed automatically....

Indeed thanks a lot for your comments and help!!!

Interesting suggestion about Java. Ive now deleted runtime Java and rebooted and now I can access the Naples Air Centre website from both IE6.0 and Opera, without either dropping dead, though I do also get the red X in all the green background boxes.

Dont you just love computers!

cheers

Wow great....

Foodbomber so you have just disabled Java and back to normal??

Happy to hear that!!!

Hmmmm....I ll try to do this......

Hope this time will be also a success for me.....

Hey guys.......

Thats it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At last..... Mission accomplished!!!

The program or plug-in causing all this problems was Web Start Java!! As Foodbomber and Maxell said this was the cause.

I removed this program from the Add/Remove program and restarted again. And now I can successfully log on the previously mentioned URLs.

Yes I also get the red X box but I think thats from the website coding not from the browsers functionality!!!

Actually I dont know whats the function of the "Web Start Java"? Didn\'t know how and why I installed this plug-in and why causing all this? May be it was with the last update patch? Weird computers...

Can anyone tell me? Now it\'s worth knowing all the whole picture after this tough battle to win it

Thanks a lot for all who contributed with their posts in this thread!! Good job!!!

Thanks very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
